The property’s location is convenient for Musgrove Park Hospital, local schools and Taunton town centre, and it is offered with no onward chain for a quicker move.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the house was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and the cavity walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed), so there is potential to improve thermal performance and reduce running costs. Broadband speeds are average, and there is a single bathroom serving two bedrooms. Overall this is a comfortable, low-crime neighbourhood property with scope for modest energy upgrades.
Ideal for retirees or downsizers seeking a manageable home with a sunny garden and strong parking provision, the bungalow rewards a viewing to appreciate the extended living space and practical layout.
